Nominations for each position have come from the city/area coaches with a little information on each player. It will be a tougher list to make this year as we expand the field, but once we do, then it will be up to the Enquirer readers to decide who is the B.O.B.?

Each week we will give readers choices and open our online poll for voting, with a winner decided by the following Monday.

Why he is the best receiver/tight end in the city/area? (according to the coach) Has had three 100-yard receiving games this season in four tries. A returning all-conference player, who is getting recruited at the Division II level. He has incredible top end speed, haven't seen him get caught from behind yet, and great hands.

Why he is the best receiver/tight end in the city/area? (according to the coach) Sam has all the tools. Size, speed, strength, catching ability and attitude. He is a role model for the younger kids in our program based on his faith and work ethic.
